She sits solidly and evenly on her feet,
but alas, no in-flight stand is included --
that'll run ya extra! The missile detailing
is vastly superior to Gaincorp's.
I have several Gaincorp Russian birds and this is my first Witty. In fact, it is my first Witty jet and it has me eying this line for all my future 1:72 jet
purchases (perhaps). Why? They're just that good -- the model is well-built with no paint/glue blemishes and no glaring errors. Well, I'm not
extremely well-versed with these birds so maybe I'm oblivious to any errors -- other than the fact that I don't think this model should have a
tail-hook! (And mine arrived with a small chip in the white nose paint.)
The paint job is excellent, the fit of assembly is top-notch: There are no ugly seams or gaps and the canopy fits tightly in the closed position,
too. I also appreciate the subtlety of the panel lines. And yes, there are visible turbines, and she rolls smoothly on her wheels, too. Simply put, this
is just a gorgeous model. Recommended.

All the placards are pad-printed, not
decals. However, the detailing on the
cannon is pretty darn weak, I must say.
